operation.

8. Disconnect the battery from the string trimmer

before making any adjustments, changing

accessories or storing. Such preventive safety

measures reduce the risk of starting the sting

trimmer accidentally.

9. Don't force the tool. It will do the job better and

with less likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for

which it was designed.

10. Don't overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times.

Intended use of the tool

1. Use right tool. The cordless string trimmer is only

intended for cutting grass and light weeds. It

should not be used for any other purpose such as

edging or hedge cutting as this may cause injury.
